I got called on a swarm last Tuesday and caught a small sized swarm. I got
busy with other things and never opened up the hive to check on the progress or
to see if there was a queen. Arriving home Saturday afternoon, I saw a swarm
forming above my bee area. I followed it about 50 feet where is grouped in a
snowball tree. I hived it again and this time gave it a feeder. So far they are
still there. Can you tell me why a swarm would swarm a second time? Do I still
stand a chance that they will swarm a third time? It is so small, I'm
thinking of putting it in a observation hive for a few months and see what I can
learn about bees.
